    Suppose we should just not name children until they’re old enough to choose their own name too. We’re talking about some fuckin skin on the tip of the dick lol. Most will never even know the difference until they go see it in a health class or Google what the differences even look like.

    What are the pros and cons here again? The cons of the situation is that they might end up wanting some extra skin at the tip of the dick for whatever reason. The pros is health and self confidence improvement. The pros outweigh the cons here, it’s a no brainer. It’s a simple medical procedure has been factually proven to improve health and self confidence, and it’s by far the safest to perform on a new born.

      This is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever read. They can change their name if they want to. How old they have to be is different from country to country.

      Equating naming a child with cutting off stuff from their bodies is fucking stupid.

      like @[email protected] said: names can be changed. and if your confidence is based on a mutilated sexual organ, then go cut yourself as much as you like, but leave others alone. don’t do something irreversible to someone without their consent.

      i dont like my given birth name, i could legally change if it i please. In fact i don’t like the concept of legal names much at all, but thats a different story.

      Lets throw in some similar cases here. Ear lobes, why not just chop those off at birth? They dangle around weirdly and are places to put jewelry. Which can cause injury.

      Ever heard of scarification? It’s like a tattoo, but subtractive instead of additive.

      You ever heard of penile subincision? You just yeet a massive slit into the bottom of the penis, that leads into the urethra.

      Why not just do those things to children upon birth?
